If you're interested...


When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a photographer. I was intrigued with pictures in Time Magazine and National Geographic and wanted to be the person behind the camera. This dream of mine has never gone away. I took photography classes in high school and when I first started college, photography was my major. Unfortunately, I soon found out that as a photog major, I was required to take other classes, such as drawing and painting and unlike my artistic brothers before me, that was not something I was at all skilled in. So, needless to say, I dropped that major and finished with English, which is something I really loved. But, the love for the camera never went away and about a year ago, Hubert bought me a very nice camera and I decided that instead of paying someone to take pictures of my girls, I will take them myself. And then I decided to take pictures of my friends kids and then it went on from there. So I am going to post some pictures that I have taken of friends and family. Here they are:

If you don't know, this is my brother, Jake's, family. His beautiful wife and dear friend, Ashley, and their awesome boys, Milo and Eli. This was a fun shoot not only because they all did so well, but because I love them so much.
This is the family of Matt and Jenny Meese. Matt was our neighbor when we moved to Utah and he has been like a brother to me ever since. And his beautiful wife, Jenny, is someone I consider to be one of my best friends. And their very handsome twin boys, Graham and Harrison, are two of the sweetest boys you will ever meet.
This is the Ogden family. Clay, Valerie, and their beautiful little girl, Charlotte, are in our Branch and have become extremely good friends of ours and Valerie asked if I would take her family's pictures. This is the first time I have been asked by someone who is not a member of my family to take their pictures, so I was both flattered and TERRIFIED! But they are a terrific family and all of them are so photogenic that it was so easy.

So there you go! That's what I have been up to and I have absolutely loved doing it. And, if anyone is interested, I am pretty cheap! So if you need any pictures and you like what you see, either e-mail me or call me. If anything, you are just indulging me.
